The
aim
of
this
study
is
to
explore
what
happens
when
the
Swedish
disability
policy
(LSS)
is
translated
into
practice.
The
study
focuses
on
the
organizing
that
takes
place
at
a
local,
municipal
level.
It
uses
a
qualitative
approach
with
a
mix
of
qualitative
methods
and
is
actively
involving
practitioners
in
the
co-­‐
production
of
empirical
data.
Drawing
on
Actor-­‐network
theory
(ANT)
as
a
conceptual
framework,
the
analysis
focuses
on
how
actors
and
actants
are
assembled
in
networks.
A
detailed
map
is
developed,
comprising
relations,
formations
and
tensions
that
emerges
from
the
efforts
of
translating
policy
into
practice, Results
identify
the
function
of
front-­‐line
managers
as
a
central
and
overloaded
hub.
It
shows
how
unforeseen,
unintended
and
undesirable
effects
arise
as
a
result
of
both
planned
action
programs
and
recurrent,
not
anticipated
events.
An
ongoing
professionalization,
is
described
as
a
result
of
internal
organizational
conditions,
rather
than
policy
implementation
or
the
self-­‐
interest
of
professions. The
study
illustrates
the
complexity
and
challenges
of
welfare
organizations
and
the
results
can
be
used
for
further
organizational
studies
as
well
as
serve
as
a
roadmap
for
organizational
development
within
disability
services.
